F&E is more like Trader Joe's, except without personality

It's hard to define exactly where F'nEasy fits. It doesn't really have the quality and premium products that makes Trader Joe's stand out. Honestly the type and quality of products they have is pretty much on par with any of the big supermarket chains, imo, but with far less selection and variety. It's like an overgrown convenience store in many ways, but with supermarket quality. The one distinguishing thing is their fairly good selection of ready-to-go meals (mostly some variation of pasta and cheese or meat and rice, or sandwich).

The company that owns them, Tesco, is in many ways the Wal*Mart of Europe. Not all of their stores are exactly like Wal*Mart since they operate a range of store types from convenience stores, to supermarkets, to Wal*Mart style megastores. But as I understand it, it's seen in many ways in the same "monolith of consumerism" light that Wal*Mart is.

Oh so happy not to be on there anywhere.....

I think the worse one was the fanny flash.

I'm almost afraid to go to the Park now....

They're totally not treated the same way at F&E like they are at Wal-Mart though. And, their products are WAY better quality. I actually place them between standard markets and TJ's.

Ken and I actually buy most of our groceries at F&E, especially produce and meats. We also like TJ's, but there isn't one close by to justify the extra mileage.

It should also be noted that F'nEasy is non-union. That doesn't matter to me either way, but to some it does.

Bill loves F&E. I still think it sounds like a feminine hygene product.
